Hokkaido - Abashiri Drift Ice Cruise
Abashiri's winter drift ice cruise is quite famous. Every year, ice would be drifted in the surface of the sea from Russia to the north of Hokkaido near Abashiri. Unfortunately, on the day of the cruise, there was not much drift ice near Abashiri. The nearest train station is Abashiri station of the JR Senmou Main Line. | ||
